Forums - Nintendo - State of Nintenod

This is a list of all of Nintendo's franchises, and whether they have installments on Wii and/or DS, updated to post-E3. Which Nintendo franchises would you like to see make an apperance on either system?

I think I epic failed with the thread title. It was meant to be "State of Nintendo's franchises on Wii and DS" but I possibly hit enter too soon. Also, on the Edit screen this is coloured in alternating light-gray and mid-gray rows. Didn't turn out like that on the forum page.

Nice list. I want Kirby and Donkey Kong Country for Wii. 2,5 d platform would be great for them!!!



Balloon Fight had a sequel on DS, Tingle's Balloon Fight. 4 players instead of 2. Starring... Tingle. I'm mostly hoping for a Pilotwings Wii on Wii.



Good list. You need to update these though:

Mario vs. DK
Super Smash Bros.
Kirby



You should update Pikmin, the NPC! versions have been releaese or they will be soon. Pikmin 3 has been announced.

Donkey Kong as well:

Wii
Donkey Kong Barrel Blast
New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat

DS
DK Jungle Climber

Add to the Excitebike franchise ExciteBots.

You could add the Trace Memory, Sin and Punishment, Endless Ocean and Legendary Starfy franchises.

Quite a few franchises have been covered, more than I thought :S



 

Oh, besides Trace Memory and Legendary Starfy, you should add Sin & Punishment 2. That's a Nintendo IP.

Still , amazing list and good to see someone going through the hard work to make something like this.

I'm only adding franchises which Nintendo themselves develop, or own the copyright to, or have a significant stake in the company (Golden Sun). Those four may be published by Nintendo but the developers and IP are independent.

I don't know about Trace Memory and Endless Ocean, but you're wrong about Sin and Punishment and Starfy. Nintendo own both those IPs. They won't ever be going anywhere else, because the IPs are Nintendo property. Note how they're both present in Brawl, too.

Nintendo and Tose co-own The Legendary Starfy IP. Source

I couldn't find anything about the other 3.
